While that's hilarious the NFLPA would never allow it. EA took a ton of flack for the NCAA mechanic where you had to suspend guys for infractions or risk NCAA sanctions, it was cool yet only last for 1 year because of the butthurt. [Reply]
Here's the thing: if Clark were stopped in just about any other western state, and assuming that we're talking about the semi-auto version, most likely absolutely nothing would've happened. [Reply]

Be aware of where you are.
Fuck, I called Denver PD just to make sure I could drive through with an AR-10 in the car.

You just don't take a chance.
Once, about ten years ago, I was taking a flight back east to work about a month out of IL. Obviously I needed my flight bag, so I just brought it with me to the airport.
Except that I forgot that I keep a gun in there, and that I'd have to pass through security. Now, on the way out from Phoenix this presented no problem at all, as I had my SIDA card and my CCW, I was in uniform, etc. So no one even blinked an eye at Sky Harbor.
But coming back out of MDW, TSA initially freaked out a little. My gun was confiscated, I was taken to a room to answer some questions, etc.
But eventually it was sorted out. I even got my gun back.
Point being, you can get so used to things being "normal," that sometimes you forget that it might be a problem if you cross an imaginary line . . . [Reply]

They are watching everything. I walked through an airport with a bag that a lot of people use to carry firearms and ammunition once and the eyes on me made me sweat. [Reply]

They seized my handgun out of the console (that I announced was there) and charged me with carrying a weapon during the commission of a crime when I got pulled over for DUI.
Pretty sure that's not the spirit of the law. [Reply]

No, it's not. That's direct political pandering by that enforcement agency/dept. [Reply]

I have a felony charge from 1990. It was supposed to be Suspended Imposition of Sentence (which means it should have been wiped off my record when I completed the probation and payed my fines, which I did both). I went to look at a shotgun at a gun dealer and filled out the paperwork to try to get it in December. The guy let me hold it while I was waiting for my Federal approval call back. It came back denied, so I went home and didn’t think about it. Then a week later detectives showed up at my house. Said I was on video as a felon in possession of a firearm and could face mandatory minimum of 3 years for it. Had to pay a lawyer 1k plus court costs to get a lawyer to get my charge expunged even though it should have been wiped away. It was a lot of aggravation, and lots of worrying about going to prison when I’ve been doing nothing but the right thing for decades. The state decided not to pick up the charges after I got it all done, thankfully. [Reply]
